| 797432 | 2009-08-03 10:59:00 | Hi everyone, While it is great to see your responses, maybe I should clarify myself a bit more. There are no problems experienced with my connections via keystone jacks that are installed at the moment. I am near completion for my network system with 3 more rooms to finish excluding my wiring for my Switch to my Router connection. This also includes my telephone line which I will complete last, since this will not take long for me to finish. However, what is really important for me to know about was whether I needed to use a cross over cable through my keystone jacks [a number of other sources] suggest otherwise, as to explain why I am here. In conclusion, no one yet has been able to answer my second question when physically connecting my RJ45 cable to the keystone Jack and this connection to the switch or router if this should be 'straight patch' as well. Again, thanks for taking the time to answer my question everyone. |

Yes, straight patch is fine, you dont need cross-over cables to connect the RJ45 connectors to the switch or router. |

Yup - a lot of modern routers/switches are smart enough now to automatically detect whether the cable is a crossover or straight through, and adjust itself accordingly. |
